At least seven people were killed when Hurricane Beryl tore through Texas on Monday, including a civilian employee of the Houston Police Department who drove into flood conditions on the way to work, officials said.
Multiple fatalities were due to fallen trees, officials said.
Houston is in recovery mode after the core of Hurricane Beryl passed very closed to downtown on Monday, with wind gusts over 80 mph that caused massive power outages. There are still 2.2 million customers dealing with power outages in Texas on Tuesday morning.
The highest rainfall was 13.55 inches southwest of Houston.
